Tattoos - historically - have been worn by pirates and whores. Tattoos are not cool. What is wrong with the human body the way it is? Isn't the best way to make the body sexy to go out and exercise it, buff it up with exercise, toning, muscles?
The trend in the West is also to dress with big baggy shorts and backwards baseball cap which infantises the person. So what you end up with is a bunch of clowns walking around, dressed up like soldiers, whores and babies. And people wonder why the world is in such a mess?
SINGAPORE – His parents were against it, but student Shendon Goh smiled as a tattoo of a skull with a knife through it reading "Live Free or Die Hard" was drawn on his right calf at the first annual Singapore Tattoo Show on Saturday.
"It's about being who you are," said Goh, a Singaporean who was got his first tattoo at the convention as a 21st birthday present to himself.
Goh is part of a young generation in Asia, particularly in the more cosmopolitan cities, who have increasingly embraced tattoos as a form of self-expression.
In Singapore, it's not uncommon for a young professional woman to sport, say, a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder.
Tattoos are still frowned upon in more conservative parts of Asia, such as predominantly Muslim communities in northern Malaysia, said Eric Kueh, 27, a tattoo artist with 71st Skin Slavery in Kuching, Malaysia.
